UPDATED 4:30 p.m.

LaRon Landry, who was not a regular participant in the Jets' voluntary offseason program and did not take part in the organized team activities, is at the team's mandatory veteran mini-camp this week.

The safety, who is coming off a season-ending Achilles/heel injury while with the Redskins, will not be able to participate on the field this week, coach Rex Ryan said.

Receiver Santonio Holmes will be monitored after developing hamstring tightness in last week's final OTA session, Ryan said. Holmes told reporters last week he did not injure himself but took himself off the field because the coaches gave him too many reps after returning from a trip to Germany to visit a U.S. Air Force base.

Ryan said the goal with Landry is to get him ready for the season. He's not sure if Landry will be ready for training camp and didn't want to make any projections. During this week's practices, Landry will work with the training staff as he continues to rehab.

"We never expected him to be able to participate right now in this (mini-camp)," Ryan said. "Is he as good, or worse, or wherever? I’m really not sure. I just know he’s not ready to go right now, but it’s not something we didn’t expect. He’s here; he’s in meetings today."

Ryan said "guys are giving him the business" in meetings, presumably because Landry has been absent for much of the offseason. Landry declined to address the media today through a team spokesman, but Ryan indicated that Landry chose to follow his own training regimen this offseason.

"But I will say this, to his credit, he is, in my opinion, doing what he thinks is going to give him the best opportunity to be successful in the fall," Ryan said. "So that I know his heart is in the right place and everything else. He wants to be healthy. He knows it’s a critical year for him, it’s a critical year for us, and we need him out there, but I'm excited to have him around for now."

Landry signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Jets, including a $100,000 workout bonus that could be at risk. If he did not report to the three-day mini-camp, he could have been subject to $60,000 worth of fines, per the collective bargaining agreement.

Ryan said he is not worried about the rash of hamstring injuries on the team, including Holmes. He said the offseason goal was for players to push themselves in the weight room, and Holmes and others have done that. While Holmes did not acknowledge a hamstring injury last week, Ryan said that's why he took himself off the field.

"He just knew it was tight," Ryan said. "Veteran players know their body better than anybody. When they sense, 'I'm tight, I'm getting ready to pull,' it's obviously better to pull yourself out of the drill than to go ahead and sustain an injury. And I think that’s where Santonio was last week. And when he came to me about that, we knew that was why he's pulling himself out of the drills."

Rookie receiver Stephen Hill will not take part in mini-camp because of a hamstring injury. Bryan Thomas, who is coming off a season-ending Achilles injury, will do limited drills but no team drills, Ryan said. Also out are RB Bilal Powell (hamstring), TE Brian Linthicum (quad), LB Mathias Berning (knee), WR Jordan White (foot) and WR DaMarcus Ganaway (hip).

LG Matt Slauson (shoulder) will be limited but will do a few team reps for the first time this offseason, Ryan said. RG Brandon Moore (hips), WR Jeremy Kerley (hamstring), WR Patrick Turner (hamstring), TE Jeff Cumberland (Achilles) and WR Royce Pollard (hamstring) will also be limited. WR Chaz Schilens (hamstring) and K Nick Folk (hamstring) will be monitored, Ryan said.

CB Darrelle Revis hasn't said whether or not he'll report to training camp in July, hinting at a possible contract holdout, but he's at mini-camp today.

Back-up QB Tim Tebow will work only with the second-team offense during mini-camp, Ryan said.
